Morrow

Morrow pitched an effing brilliant game tonight but was let down by the bullpen. :(

John Harper's Jealousy

I'm not sure if you've been keeping tabs on this story from the NY Times, but it seems that John Harper has all but made up his mind that Bautista is on performance enhancing drugs.

Now I admit I don't know jack about Harper but would he be asking these same questions if Bautista was a Yankee?  Did he ask these same questions about Giambi, A-Rod, Pettitte or Clemens at the time they were actually doing steroids & playing for the Yankees?

I guess Harper must have missed the part where Bautista said recently that he had been tested twice in the last month for performance enhancers along with some of his teammates.

Harper ends his piece saying "Bautista is a great story. Let's hope he's legit".

I end this piece by saying "Harper is a jealous asshole.  Even if he's legit".

Tough Loss

Oh man that was one tough loss tonight for the Jays.  Plenty of miscues in the 9th inning.  I was wondering if Farrell pulled RR early in the 8th and I guess my intuition was right.  Ah well, afternoon game tomorrow will make the work day go faster....hopefully.

that home plate ump should be fired

The Jays lost today. Bautista & Hill were rung up on pitches a foot outside, Dan Mellino should have his umpire license revoked immediately. Maybe u can get away with point shaving in the NBA but not in MLB. I'll bet we find out later this clown is in huge gambling debt. Cheating bastard.

Jays Win Tonight

Jays had a great comeback win tonight. They came back from a 4-0 nothing deficit to beat the Astros & pick up Morrow.

The incredible Jose Bautista had two jacks with runners on base (finally)! Yunel hit a key 2 run homer to lift the Jays on top.

Glad to see the Jays might be jelling offensively...but I do desperately want Lind back.

Jays tonight

The Jays imploded tonight costing Jo-Jo Reyes his first win in three years. It sucks for sure but if you haven't won in 3 years u gotta thank Jesus u r still on an MLB team let alone still a starting pitcher.

Jerry said 'the game took 2 hrs & 16 minutes' & Alan Ashby says 'that's 6 more minutes than I predicted'. Funny, funny guy. The Fan 590 rules!

5 in a MORROW!

Jays won today bringing the tally to five straight wins!  Keep up the good work boys.

Of course, the big story today is three home runs in three straight at bats for Hip Hip Jose Bautista.  This guy is killing the ball right now.  His average is around .360, his OPS is 1.315 (usually .800 is good) and he's got 16 home runs, which is 9 more than he had at this point last year.  Frigging unreal.  So I guess he's on pace to pass triple digits in home runs this year!  Sweet.

You gotta wonder if the Yankees & Boston are trying to steal samples of his DNA so they can clone him 9 times each.

Jays vs Red Sox tonight

Ah ha ha.  Jerry just gave us the game recap on the Fan tonight and said "the Jays just batted around to roll a 5".  Slick.  Love last night's winning game with Cooper's RBI's.  Loving tonight.  A mini-sweep of Boston would be sweet.

Morrow gets Yanked after giving up 2 Runs

I kinda waited to review yesterdays game cause I was a bit pissed off that Farrell yanked Morrow with the bases loaded after giving up two runs.  I figured like Zaun was saying maybe Farrell knows something we don't.

So what did Farrell say?  A: "His arm angle dropped" B: "I would have done that to any pitcher"

First let's address "A".  I don't have the video on this but the Drunk Jays Fans have checked the video vs his last start and said there's no change.  I side with them and I call "BULLSHIT FARRELL".

Next is B.  No, you would not have done this to any pitcher.  I seem to remember you leaving Jo Jo Reyes out there for every one of his starts till the game was well over.   You jumped the gun and I call BULLSHIT on that too.

Also, as pointed out to me by DJF: why the fuck are you sending Dotel out to pitch against lefties?  Are you trying to see how high a On Base Percentage can get vs lefties?  Cause that is the only fucking reason I understand.

As you all can see, I have totally calmed down by waiting 24 hours....

Detroit VS Jays

I'm going to the game tonight so I'm hoping for the win.  Tix are pretty decent, 523, right behind home, row 1.  This will be my fourth game this year after two games opening weekend, and one game vs the Tampa Bay on April 24.  Their record this year while I'm at the park is 1-2, they'd better even it up tonight.

Foul Ball

I caught this foul ball while listening to the game on The Fan 590 @ work.  That's how awesome radio is.  Unfortunately another loss for my Jays.

Morrow Win!!

OMG I thought Franky might have lost that shit for Morrow....that would have PISSED me the FUCK OFF! Morrow 1, rest of the world: 0!

OMG Jays Haircut!

Okay, I thought I was a super-fan of the Jays but I do not freaking compare to this guy:

Lind's 2 Run Jack!

With Adam Lind's 2 run to start the ballgame tonight he has tied the AL lead with 25 RBI's.  SWEET.  Way to pick up the team while Bautista is off!

Bautista OUT

Holy Crap the Jays are in some serious trouble with Bautista undergoing an MRI.  He's not expected to return to the lineup until the weekend.  FACK.  This could be bad.  I'm still betting it relates to that shot at his head sometime last week.  And I just got freebie tickets for Friday night.  Hope he's back.

I've just tuned into the game now and somehow we're winning without Bautista.  Still wish Hayhurst was up with the Rays instead of being in triple A.  I was listening to the Rays announcers for a bit and holy crap those guys sound FLAT.  No excitement what-so-ever.

Weekend vs the Yankees

I haven't said much about the last couple games cause I haven't caught much of the last two games.  I did see McCoy on Saturday going full tilt into right field catching a fly ball basket style.  I didn't think he had a shot at it - well freakin done!

I was listening to the game today but I fell asleep when we were winning 2-1 and awoke to us losing 5-2.  Then Bautista left the game with neck stiffness which is probably related to that ball he almost took in the head the other day.  Hopefully it's nothing and he doesn't end up on the DL for a stretch cause that would suck royally.

Rivera's getting hot and playing left field.  I'd still way rather have Snider struggling at the plate and playing left because I can't give a crap about Juan "Vernon Wells II" Rivera.  He's old, slow, and uh, old and slow and I don't believe for a second this guy gives a crap about this team (I can't say I blame him cause he knows we don't want him).  I mean, do we really think he can get hot enough that we dump him at the deadline and get prospects.....I highly doubt he's going to be in demand.  The only way I can see that happening is if we give up someone valuable and make them take his sorry ass.

Speaking of Snider, I hear he's 6 for 6 in Vegas.
